How are you configuring Lima? Do you have any scripts you use to set up the environments or is this done ad hoc?
I recently wrote a blog post about just that - how to run LLMs in Lima VMs: https://www.metachris.dev/2025/11/sandbox-your-ai-dev-tools-...

This is why you want containerisation or, even better, full virtualisation. Running programs built on node, python or any other ecosystem that makes installing tons of dependencies easy (and thus frustratingly common) on your main system where you keep any unrelated data is a surefire way to get compromised by the supply chain eventually. I don't even have the interpreters for python and js on my base system anymore - just so I don't accidentally run something in the host terminal that shouldn't run there.
Absolutely, good old VMs can really provide the needed isolation while still having good UX. I just published a post on setting up dev VMs with Lima: https://www.metachris.dev/2025/11/sandbox-your-ai-dev-tools-...
Every day I think to myself: "Just fake it like you want to be here for 30 more years and then you can retire."
I have been working in machine-learning for 10 years. I am tired of the computer. I am tired of working. I just want to lay in the grass.
Can you work less (maybe for some time)? Getting yourself bigger chunks of free time might help. All the best!

That wasn't the case in the past. Events over the past 15 years have resulted in most companies encrypting all traffic between datacenters (due to the perceived risk). TLS between consumers and companies is probably at an all time high though due to a push for end-to-end encryption.
TLS doesn't help here, because state actors (including China, Russia) own trusted root certificates, which allow them to TLS-terminate for _any_ website they choose and silently decrypt/MITM the traffic.

I wonder if there’s a devbox-as-a-service tool out there. I use a MacBook Air for most of my work and on occasion would be benefited by using a beefier machine in the cloud. I just don’t want to set up a machine, set up sync etc.
You could just rent a beefy server for like $40/month at hetzner or OVH and use VS Code with the remote development extension.

You can get over 16 oz of dried flower per plant if you grow outdoors in ideal conditions. Even with a super low final yield of only 1 oz per plant (this would be a beginner’s yield growing indoors, not someone with 200 plants), that would still be 200 oz of dried flower. 1 oz is like a year supply for an average person. I could see a heavy user getting through an ounce a month maybe? So this is still 10x what anyone would ever need, and that’s if you were a very inexperienced grower.
1ox seems like a year's supply for an average person.
A really heavy smoker can consume up to several grams a day. Let's say 5 grams, that'd be 150g per month (5oz per month).
Agree that it's hard to argue for 200 plants being personal use; 20 would be more realistic. For 200 plants, it's a big operation! Also, you can grow them in like 3-month cycles too.
Pretty careless almost idiotic to just search with history and sync? about the crimes you are going to commit.
It shows that those guys aren’t really technical, exploiting a blockchain bug sounds like they hacked the system but instead they misused a feature.
They haven’t been even smart enough to understand that the blockchain is for tracing.
This was a pretty sophisticated attack and deeply technical execution.
